Today Lego celebrates the big 5-0, even getting some Google-love for hitting the half century mark.
New York has long been recreated in Lego-form, our favorite was at an exhibit housed in the Storefront for Art and Architecture late last year. Do you have a favorite Brick Apple? We love Sean Kenney's Greenwich Village (pictured) and Nathan Sawaya's Brooklyn Bridge.
In a related story, this past Saturday was the city's first Lego League Citywide Championship, where more than 80 teams of grade-schoolers participated in a Lego challenge. It's great to see they're still getting some play in the age of Wii.
And Boing Boing has a time lapse video chronicling one man's assembly of the "Ultimate Collectors Millennium Falcon LEGO set, the largest yet sold, with over five thousand individual elements." Whatever keeps 'em off the streets!
